And this is precisely what is guaranteed by the proven materials from ski making which are used above all in the new Carbonlite rollerski series. With this extensive range of products ranging from rollerskis and boots and poles to the appropriate accessories, there is nothing to stop you from preparing even better for the winter season.

SKATE The frame on skate models is considerably shorter than on classic models. The diameter of the wheels (100mm) is larger and they are relatively narrow (24mm). These are the optimum characteristics for the generally higher speeds which are reached when skating. The narrow wheels are designed for a safe kick action when using the skate technique. CLASSIC The frame on skate models is considerably shorter than on classic models. Compared to skating, the diameter of the wheels is smaller and they are relatively wide. This shape ensures stable tracking and a safe position on the rollerskis. Another difference is the backstop which is featured on the classic models. This locks the rear axle on Fischer rollerskis which enables a safe kick action when skiing classic style. 12.2 FRAME
12.1 ROLLERSKI SELECTION As with cross country skiing, you also have the choice between skate and classic models with rollerskis. These differ above all in terms of the frame geometry and wheel dimensions.

As mentioned above, the length of the frame is different on skate and classic models. The frame of the classic models is considerably longer, which means that the centre distance (axle to axle) is larger. This ensures constant ground contact of the front wheel for clean and stable tracking of the rollerski.
